Question:

Patriot America plus vs Atlas America Hi, I am looking for a visitors insurance, in dilemma between Patriot America plus & Atlas America. In Patriot America plus, if i take my mother for severe fever to urgent care(outpatient), should i pay the deductible(250 0r 500$)? or only the copay? and also the chances of billing directly in Atlas america? If chances are low, i need to pay 20% on 5000$

Answer:

Thank you for contacting Insubuy. Short term health insurance plans have no concept of a copayment with the exception of the Atlas America when visiting the urgent care facility. With the Patriot America Plus you would pay all expenses out of pocket until you reach your deductible amount. Next the coinsurance would apply for the first $5,000 dollars whether you are in or out of network. Then the plan will pay the remaining cost 100 percent up to the policy maximum you select for covered expenses. With the Atlas America plan If the provider chooses not to bill directly you are responsible for 20% of the first $5,000 in covered expenses after the deducible or copayment. One of the benefits of going to a network provider is direct billing. Most of the time the provider should bill the insurance directly if they are in in-network. Please do keep in mind, direct billing is solely up to the provider so they can also decline to bill directly. In this case you would pay for the expenses out of pocket, and file a claim for reimbursement. If you have any additional questions please let us know.
